FWIW, the best way to pick an intro time for a recurring job is it's
own intro time.  CI variable HPIntroTime is useful, but requires parsing
(see below).  Why HP chose the HH:MM xM format for this variable, instead
of HH:MM is beyond me.
 
Also, to assure that the job is past the original intro time, I tend to
use HPConnSecs to force the wait issue (again, see below).  I don't think
this is much better than the other suggestions offered, and I can't see
how it would get around Gavin's original issue of a suspect clock.
 
!while hpconnsecs<61 do
!  pause 15
!endwhile
!setvar hr  ![str(hpintrotime,1,2)]
!setvar mn  ![str(hpintrotime,4,2)]
!if str(hpintrotime,7,1)='P' then
!  setvar hr hr+12
!endif
!comment Resubmitting the job for !hr:!mn based on current intro of
!comment !hpintrotime
!stream test;at=!hr:!mn
